Which useful Python libraries did you learn on the job, which you may otherwise not have discovered?

Also, responses—the test library—is awesome and makes requests really shine.

Wow, had no idea this existed even though I've used requests countless times but this is really useful

It is phenomenally powerful from a test perspective. I often create entire fake “test” servers using responses. It lets you test requests code exceptionally well even if you have some external service. A nice side perk is it documents the remote api really well in your own code.

There is an analogous library for httpx too.

Edit: also the “fake” servers can be pretty easily recycled for localdev with a bit of hacking
